Synopsis

A collection of writings and speeches by one of the most radical of America's early 20th century labour leaders which brings to life a once powerful socialist movement. Eugene Victor Debs (1855-1926), one of America's most famous socialists, was an important figure on the American political landscape. He ran as the Socialist Party's (SP) presidential candidate five times and obtained nearly a million votes in 1912 and 1920.

Review

'This selection of Debs' words will help introduce a new generation to an authentic American hero whose vision is as powerful today as in years past. - Today, when capitalism, the free market, and private enterprise are being hailed as triumphant in the world, it is a good time to remember Debs and to rekindle the idea of socialism.' - Howard Zinn
